I've heard about a currency unit called toman in Iran, but I'm not quite sure what it represents or its value. Could someone explain to me what a toman is in the context of Iran's monetary system?

Historically, the toman originated from the Turko-Mongolian word tümen, which means "unit of ten thousand."
